What suggestion? You need to be clear in changelog what exactly has
been done without looking to any previous mail.

I have briefly looked at the code (it is actually quite old one!), and

__iomem annotation and useless explicit casting.
The proper one seems to switch to memremap() and do memunmap() here.
